ROBERT coLLYeR AT HOME.
Sketch OF a Prominent Divine of tho
Metropolis.

lSpeCnl CorTtSTondcnce,
New YORK, Dec. 1.-Some men GROW
into prominence, like the oak, which.
springing from an acorn, gradually, with.
out volltion, lifts its head to the skies.
Such man is Robert Collycr, the pastor
Of the Church Of the Messiah in this city.
Born in humble village in Yorkshire,
England, first factory hand, then q
blacksmith aGtcrwurd q strolling preach
or, he stands today among the foremost
pulpit orators in the land His intelec-
tual growth is hidden from analysis He
chose q path, followed it like u child, and
it led him to the mountain top. He owes
nothing 20 ambition, having simply fol-
lowed his natural impulses. Mr.. Collyer
resides at 1877 East Thrty-ninth street, in
plain brick house, for, although he re-
ceives S10,OO8 year from his congrega-
ton, he lives unprctenGously. HIS days
are devoted to parochial work, his nights
to reading and study. Every week he
writes new sermon, generally upon
some live topic of the day. A diligent
reader of the newspapers, he finds no
dearth Of timely subjects One night re-
Gently paid him visit. He was in his
library, busny engaged in correcting
proofs of n new product of hiSJrn, entitled
A"4NH W iouuB -ucf Slth ASldeS to
Young Women" 1t VIII shortly be pub
lished by Lee g. Shep.rd of Boston. His
library is large, s01are room on the top
iloor of the hou%.. The floor is of var
nHhed wood, YHh hero and there an ample
rug, On the Tour walls are high shelves
hIled With books above them portraits
and cngrlvings. Unlike the Libraries Of
many Rerary men, there is no litter of
papers AID confusion Of books to be eriti-
ciscd here. Everything is in the most
Scrlpulous order. As | entered the room
Nr. Collypr arose from the wide fiat table
where he was working and babe me be
seated. He has changed but little since
heard him preach his first sermon in the
Church of the Messiah eight years ago
His large fine head, with its picnteous
gray hair, his broad, good natured, com
plctely human face which any child or
man would trust, look the same as ut that
time. Perhaps his figure is more ample,
otherwise he is unchanged. asked him
the secret of his superb health. He smiled
good humoredly and replied in his char
acteriStic way:
Oatmeal and milk and oat cake a
plenty, with Bit of meat for the worker
IN my younger days. A good mother to
teach me habits of health and the proyi-
dence Of God to guide me through shoals
OF temptation.
My childhood was passed in cottage
containing two rooms, and an attic look
ing right into the eye of the sun and
away toward great purple moors where
The air was fresh and pure and healthful.

Then in his simple, unaffected manas
| I've told me the story of his life; of hi
childhood, made beautiful by the love of ,
blue eyed, gentle mother; of his factor,
days, when he worked from 8 in tn,
morning until s at night for mere Dit
lance; Of his days Of apprenticeship to {
drunken blacksmith; of his courtshin
marriage, cuigration to America; of hi.
life here as a strollaG preacher, going
from place to place eypOunding the Gospel
whik plying his trade uf blacksmith
until he came to that eventful dav when
he stood amid the smoidering ruins OF
his church in Chicago the Sunday after
the great fire, preashing words Of com.
fort and strength TO his terror stricken
congregation. 1t was the narrative of a
strong, earnest, busy, God fearing life,
tohi in the simplest language
"a reporter Tor The Chicago Times once
said of me, he ended, "that l thought
myself greater man than 1 really ana
l think he was just about right"
Mr.. Collyer is esotistical, but it is the
egotism of strong and benevolent ma
tupe. He delights to sustain and support
Others. Himself strong, he is full of com
passion for his weak, irresolute brothers,
and bends down to lift them up md assist
